"If Mr. Creel did not make the statement reflecting on Congress he should In justice to himself repudi ate the statement.'’ said Chairman I'on of the committee, after a brief consideration of the measure. “If he did make the statement, it seems to mo a question is raised to be dealt with by the President.

Coal Shortage for New England Next Winter Much Worse Than Last Winter Predicted by Everett Morss Boston, May 16.—A coni shortage tor New England next winter that will make last winter's serious sit nation ‘'look like an easy time" was 1 predicted by Everett Morss of the priorities committee of the war in dustries board in addressing a group of textile manufacturers here today. 1 “The government," he said, "real izes that it is falling down on coal 1 shipments into New England at a jiato of about 20,000 tons a day. I am afraid the program as laid down is by no means sale. Wo might as well face the situation. Should the j shortage come next inter war in 1 dustries will get the coal and those not engaged on war work will not. j The general public docs not yet teal i ize the seriousness of the war as it is appreciated in Washington. "Every pound of coal saved to day will be a pound available next winter when the cool famine is on. I To supply war industries and domes j tic users of coal next winter is a 1 very largo preparation and one that t is bound to cause uneasiness. I rec I ommend to every man on war work. I direct or indirect, that he make his application to be placed on the pref erence list. You cannot rest upon j the assumption that you are now i on the preference list." j The meeting was held In the State House under the direction of the Na tional sAsoclations of Cotton ar. 1 i Wool Manufacturers to discuss the fuel situation. President. W. Frank i Shove, of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, presided and James J. Storrow, fuel administra tor for New England, and James H. Hustis. chairman of the operating 1 committee of the Federal Railroad I Administration, were among the i speakers. >tr. Morss expressed the opinion (that decision of the priorities com mittee last week, placing cotter, and '.woolen mills on. the preference list "as only temporary and that the tev: t ilo men vhould proceed at once to make their individual applications for a place on the preference list. The necessity of restricting coal consumption in manufacturing plants was urged by Mr. Storrow. A sav ing of 1 i per cent., he said, would greatly mprove the situation and a saving of 20 per cent, he believed would tide New England over the crisis. Mr Ilustis told the manufac turers that the railroads were doing as well as they could but lhat they could not be depended upon to make up much of the deficit in water transportation. "Our only hope ap pears to be to get more coal by wa ter," he said. "It seems to me that we are very much worse off than last year.” As a result of the meeting it was I decided to name a committee repre senting the cotton and the woolen manufacturers associations to work among the members of their respec tive organizations in the interest of coal conservation and preference as regards shipments.

The aggressive has been taken by the Italians, however, and the Austro German forces, instead of launching their long expected assault on the Italian lines have been compelled to fight hard to maintain the positions where they have stood since last No vember. The fighting seems to have centered on the comparatively short section of the battle line between Monte Asalona and Monte Pertiea. These two heights, about three miles apart, rise to an altitude of about 5000 feet, while between them there is a sort of “Saddle" on which the Teutonic forces have taken up strong positions. Both the Vienna and Rome official statements tell f bitter fight ing on this particular front, the lat ter stating that the Italian soldiers have entered Austrian trenches on Monte Vsalona in two places. The fact that the Italian armies have taken the initiative in the fight ing would seem to indicate that they 1 ave sought to carry the fight to the enemy in such a way as to break up any arrangements for the launching of a strong Teutonic assault. This has many precedents in the present war, a strong offensive at the threatened point being considered the best de fense under certain circumstance.-. While the fighting has been very fierce east of the Brenta, the wi,r !e Italian line from Rake Garda to the Piave and thence to the sea. has h-m marked by patrol engagements which appear to be isolated actions but which may be component parts of a plan in that theater of the war. No where have the Italian lines been reached hy attacking parties of Aus trians. In Flanders and Picardy onlv heavy artillery fire has marked the t fighting the past day. American gun j r.ers have been at work in the gen eral bombardment that has been s ing on and hate, again set buildings ir. Montdidier in tlames. Here and there there have been pa troling 'engagements, but these fights have not approached the mag nitude of a battle at any point. A daring raid on the Austrian na val base at l’ola has been made by Italian units and an Austrian battle ship of the 20,000 ton type has been destroyed. The Italian naval forrea were aided in their operations by an aerial squadron. It has been announced from Wash ington that an official order has been issued by the Soviet government of Russia calling for the formation of an army which will fight for the secur ity of the Russian Republic which has been menaced by the aggression of the Germans. Arthur .T. Balfour. British secretary for foreign affairs, d.scussing in the IIouso of Comomns the now famous letter written by Emperor Charles of Austria to Prince Sixtus of Burbon. said that Great Britain is prepared to consider proposals of peace from the Central Powers, provided they are put forward by an accredited person in a straightforward manner. He declared that no offer thus far made by Germany and Austria had been in the interest of fair and lion orable peace. Fight in Prospect in Senate Over Question of Suspending Further Inquiry Into War Preparations Washington, May 16. Another test >f strength is impending in the Senate be tween administration leaders and critics of the government's war preparations. On receiving word today that the I'res ident still strongly disapproved the res olution further war inquiries by the Senate military committee even in its modified form, both sides laid plans for the fight which probably will begin to morrow. Senator Chamberlain of Ore gon, chairman of the cilitary commit tee and author of the original resolution, has stated that he will favor an aban doning the committees the recommenda tion unless the measure is passed in its present form, other senators support ing it apparently are confident of win nine though they concede the vote may be close. Italian Troops Enter Austrian Trenches at Two Points Between Brenta and Piave, on Monte Asolene Rome, May lS.-Italian troops carried out an offensive operation yesterday in which the Austrian trenches on Monte Asolene between the Rrenta and Piav.i rivers were entered at two points. The Italian inflicted heavy casualties and j took prisoners. In addition to this aggressive move merit bv the Italians, the war office re* ports a successful patrol action by 1'na British at Canove, in which prisoners also were taken. Enemy raiding parties were repulsed. Tlie artillery activity grew stronger in the Laganna and Arsa valleys snd Aziago plateau. U. S. ARTILLERY IS BATTERING HUN POSITIONS With the American Army in France, May IQ.—(By The Associat ed I’ress.)—Several iires were set in Montdidier and behind the German lines by the American batteries last night. Enemy communications arc continuously battered by the Amer ican heavy artillery, and the aerial services on both sides arc active. The infantry, however, has not been engaged. The Germans are using searchlights every night. French officers give high praise to the American artillery units for their accurate work. Two Ger man airplanes were brought down yesterday by French aviators in this sector. $50,000 RAISED BY PORTLAND IN SALE OF STAMPS Portland, Me., May 16.—Portland laised $50,000 last Saturday in the one-day Thrift and War Saving Stamp drive, according to an an nouncement today by the Portland War Savings committee. Portland's allotment was increased $600,000 to day to 11,853,000._— TANKER BARNES LAUNCHED AT QUINCY, MASS. Quincy, Mass., May 16.—The 3000 ton tar.ker. Geo. TV.

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in l good condition, be careful what you wash it v. ith. Most soapr and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries ,the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and !is very harmful.

May 31. which is to be Ivy day, will be a holiday, however. Commencement will be held at the scheduled time, the week of June 16. The Baccalaure nte address will be delivered Sunday by l’resident-elect Kenneth C. M. Sills.

Great Britain Ready (Continued from Page One) eren; country,” the foreign minister then declared, “desires seriously to lay before us any proposals, we are ready to listen to them.'’ Mr. Balfour said the conversations which (.'.aston Dournergue, formerly French premier and foreign minister, had with the Russian emperor in 1016 regarding a bigger Alsace-Lorraine which France would demand, were not known to Great Britain until very much 1. ter. They had no International bear ing. he said, and did not pledge Great Britain. The British government never gave the least encouragement to any such notion. Mr. Balfour said an extended Alsace Lorraine was not a subject which should ever be contemplated seriously and he did not think it ever was a fixed part ol' the foreign policy of the French gov ernment for any length of time. The foreign minister also said the pour parlers over the Austrian emper or's letter were not interfered with by the demand of France for an extension of territory beyond her boundaries of 1870. Mr. Balfcur said there was no evi dence now nor at any time that the German government circles contem plated the possibility of what "we should regard as a reasonable peace— a peace which would secure the free dom of the world and freedom for those wh.o are in danger of German domination." Former I’remier Asquith, who fol lowed Mr. Ilalfour. said that while in his judgment there had not been and could not bo any contraction, so there should not be any expansion of the clear aims and purposes for which Great Britain had entered and was prosecuting the war and desiring to bring it to a successful issue. Mr. Asquith said he desired to re cord the satisfaction he felt at the instructive and opportune statement made by Mr. Balfour. It is a satis faction to the world at. large, he said, that the British government has closed no door on any overtures and approaches toward an honorable peace. With regard to the supposed claim of France to the line of 1814 he gath ered that the allegation that Presi dent Poincare put forward this de mand was totally without foundation, so fur as Mr. Balfour knew. He re garded with still more satisfaction the declaration by Mr. Balfour that this never had been one of the war aims of the Ilritisli government and that so fur as lie knew it has not been and was not the settled policy' of the French government. "Is that right?” he asked the sec retary and Mr. Balfour replied: T think so.” Mr. Asquith said he was extreme ly glad and he thought the world would be to hear it. Thomas A. Hinckley Thomas A. Hinckley died at his home on North Pleusant street early Thurs day morning after an illness covering the past three months, fie was bom in Woolwich in 1S34, but had made his home in Richmond for the past 13 years, moving here from Perkins, where he passed many years of his life.

I with the war, the underlying emo- I tions of the characterization de- i linen'' i by Miss Glaum, are not es- I sentially bound to the war. There j is not a single battle-scene in the entire production. “An Alien En- j my” can scarcely be termed a war picture; rather it is a strong virile j story of modern times in which the j development and the strength of the picture are concentrated upon the plot and not upon elements of inter- j national intrigue which run, subordi nated by the plot, throughout the flint. Miss Glaum appears, for the first time in years, in a sympathetic role. Her emotional performance in “An Alien Enemy’* is so impressive as to rank her among the greatest artists of dramatic interpretation. Miss Glaum is supported by a strong cast of eminent players,—Adv.

J BASKET MEETING OF SOUTH KENNEBEC MISSIONARY ASS’N The annual basket meeting of the South Kennebec Missionary Associa tion was held on Thursday at the I iist Baptist church. Church street There was a good attendance, there being at least 10 of the churches in the district well represented. The morning session was given over al most entirely to business and as this was the first meeting 0f the com bined Baptist and Free Baptist So cieties it was necessary to adopt a constitution and by-laws, which was accordingly done. Interesting reports from the State Home Missionary sec retary and from the Foreign Mis sionary secretary were read and ac cepted as was the report of the as sociational officers. At the afternoon session the nom inating committee reported the fol lowing as officers and these were elected: President, Mrs. .J. E. Coch rane, Hallowell; vice president, Mrs. A. A. Walsh of Gardiner; recording secretary, Mrs. w. K. Wood of Au gusta: corresponding secretary for State Missions. Mrs. T,. It. Clarke of Ilallowell; corresponding secretary tor Home Missions, Mrs. Ralph Her rick of Augusta: corresponding sec ietary for i oniirn Missions, Mrs. C. 1 I enney of Augusta; secretary of O'ins Woman's and Junior work Mrs. T. J. Winslade of Gardiner; sec retary of Eiterature. Miss Annie It. Chase of Hallowell; treasurer, Mrs Harriet M. Bryant of Augusta. A highly interesting talk on For eign Missionary Work was given by Mrs. Hugh Ross Hatch of Fairfield, who told of the great uprising in In dia. when the natives asked tor t hiistian baptism and there were not missionaries enough to perform the work. She gave an interesting ac eount of a visit to the home of ;the late Prof. John Hedman, at New Swe den. and of Miss Helen Peterson, a Baptist foreign missionary. Following Mrs. Hatch’s address. Miss Isabelle Crawford told most en tertainingly ot her work among In dians in New York state. One of the hardest problems that is met with in this work is when the students re turn. At the educational institutions they have every modern convenience and upon their return they will cither return to their former uncivilized state or they will progress in civiliza tion. The Blanket Indians appear to be the most susceptible to the teach ings of the missionaries. t.ea cross Farads If a man's heart was in the right place, the tied Cross parade of Thurs day surely accomplished its piurpose, for a look into the faces of the partici pants, aglow with a determination to accomplish the task before them, could but send a thr.ll down the spine. And when one stopped to think that the same thing is being done this week all over the country, piultiplied in propor tion to the size of t lie cities, and then considered the aggregate, one must have been impressed. As a parade there have been better; as a forger of results we have never had its superior. Major .1. \V lterry was grand marshal and led the march. Then came a sec tion of Hazzard's band and then mem bers of the lied Cross and surgical dressings workers in uniform. These were followed by the high and gram mar school children and the junior Red Cross, the latter an organization that Gardiner esidents ought to feel mighti proud of, for here lies a means of the continuation of the great work of mer cy now being accomplished. Numerous flag-bedecked autos closed the proces sion. All along the line of march were hags, not only of our own countries but of our allies. F. S. Smith Surprised It has been found rather hard to surprise F. S. Smith and so when sec ernl of his friends put one over on him on Thursday evening they were all pleased.

President Renews Fight Against Senate Inquiry Washington, May 16.— President. Wilson today renewed his tight! against adoption by the Senate ot i Senator Chamberlain's resolution for j a war inquiry by the Senate military affairs committee. He advised Sen- ator Thompson of Kansas that the resolution as amended yesterday by the Senate expenditures committee still is objectionable. Considering all the circumstances, President Wilson told Senator; Thompson, chairman of the expendi- tures committee, the Chamberlain resolution, even as modified, would in effect authorize a "dragnet” in- j vestigation by the military commit- 1 tee. During today’s preliminary discus- j sion significance was attached to a statement by Senator Martin that he had hoped the appointment cf Mr. Hughes for the aviation inquiry j would "satisfy every senator that the government is going to make a thor- 1 ough investigation.” During the day Senator Brandegee presented to the Senate the letters and affidavits received by him from C.utzon Borglum denying charges that the sculptor negotiated for the or ganization of a private airplane cor poration while inquiring into the avi ation situation at the invitation of the President. The senator said Bor glum's accusations against govern ment officials were so grave that he would not stand sponsor for them and therefore would not ask that they i be put into the record. He read this telegram from the sculptor: ••I was acting as 1 believed cor rectly in asking you to place my re ply before the Senate. Will >ou kindly give the papers to some sen ator who may regularly do this? I cannot let slanderous affirmations without proof be brought before the Senate without reply, and of course no one wishes to deprive me of the right to answer.” Senator Brandegee said he had no intention of suppressing the papers, but believed they should be referred to the military committee. Melrose, Mass., May 16.—Clarence H. Demar, one of the best known long distance runners in the country was ordered today to report, with other draft men from this district at Port Slocum. N.

26TH MEETING MAI ASSOCIATION, 01 The 26th meeting of the Maine Library^ Aisoctation opened its sessions Thurs-1 day morning at 10.30 o'clock in the Uni-j tartan church, Waterville. A large num- her of exhibits were shown in the Ware, parlors, where the delegates, who rep resented many cities and towns in the J State, examined them previous to the1 opening of the meeting In the church. Pres. Dunnack'* Address Kev. Henry E. Dunnack, president of the association, presided and following the reports of the secretary and treas urer gave an address on 'Library De velopment in Maine." He first made the statement that the two central li hrarc agencies author.nen by the irtate are the Maine Stare Library and the Maine Library Commission. He gave the history of the State library from the time when it had its -beginning in a re solve by the legislature of 1836. wblrh required the secretary of State to pui haee, under the direction of the gov ernor. a. library for the use of the Leg islature and to expend $500 for the same; to the present when on its shelves will ba found 130,001 books and pamphlets and 125 periodicals which contain a full un i equal representation of the various branches of history law, Eden-e, !e hgion. political economy, Industrial and fine arts, language and literature. Mr. Dunnack emphasised the fact that any eitisen of Maine may borrow honks of the State library. In 1317 over 7000 per sons were served in person or by mail. Mr. Dunnack also gave the history of the traveling library system, which was I established by law In 1833 through the; efforts of the Maine Federation of Wo men's Clubs. The libraries contain 50 books each and are sent to any part of, the State on payment of five cents a volume to cover the cost of transporta tion. The first year 42 traveling libra ries were prepared and circulated and in 1517 332 libraries were In circulation. These libraries are under the direction of a library commission, one of whom Is the State librarian. The present mem-; hers of the commission are William H. j Hartshorn. Mrs. Kate C. Kstabrook, J. j Howard Winchester, Charles A. Flagg I and Henry E. Dunnack. In referring to Maine and the1 w orld war, Mr. Dunnack spoke of! the splendid work done by Uovernor i I'llliken personally ami through Ad-i jutant General Presson in getting to gether all possible information and material for instant use and in two hours after the opening of the legis lative session on the morning follow ing the President's war message, passed a $1,000,000 appropriation bill for war purposes. Other war meas- i ures of the Legislature were also enu- j mere.ted. The speuker stated that, the contributions to the various funds have averaged mote than $50 for every man. woman and child in the State, lie spoke of the work of the Junior Volunteers and gave it un stinted praise. He touched upon the work of the Food Administration and the co-operation of the Library asso- c-iation in this regard. He also stated} that more than 12,000 of Maine's sons are in the various brandies of the service. Mr. Dunnaek reported more than 3,500,000 bonks collected bv the libra ries In the State during the intensive March campaign. He made it plain however that the book campaign is not over. Hooks will be needed as long as the war lasts. Maine sent *3,421.29 towards the *1,000,000 fund of the A. L. A. war service and has maintained during the summer trav elling libraries at several war camps. lie called attention to the advan- tages obtained by advertising the library as one would a business and also to the fact that the library ns a j whole has neglected the interests of! the Industrial classes and the busi- 1 ness people. "There has been no: class of books which has shown the consistent yet rapid growth, which has been evident in business books during the past few years. The printed word is now becoming more and more the tremendously vital fac- tor in business," said Mr. Dunnaek i and gave some suggestions as to what kind of hooks for libraries to obtain along these lines. The report also showed how the Library Commission is co-operating! with t'-.e State Board of Education I along its various lines of activities, i Also the work of founding' new libra- j rics was fuilv reported and ^I.e aid which the State affords in such cases was fully explained. The State will donate books not exceeding 50 per 1 cnt. in .line of the books and dcru inents purchased by the town for, such newly founded libraries, except that the donation shall not exceed 410a and provided that the town shall j have raised nnd appropriated not j less than *100 for the purchase of such hooks and have made provision j for the care nnd distribution of its own books nnd those purchased by j the Stntc. An exhaustive and comprehensive report on what the libraries arc doing was also given by President Dunnaek, which included the work of in high and Normal schools and closed with a lengthy report on the State Library its functions and Its work. A nominating committee consist ing of ,T. Howard Winchester of Cor inna: Mrs. Anna Heed of Fairfield and Ml6s Lucinda Marston of Pres que Isle and a resolutions committee consisting of G. G. Wilder of Bow doin; Charles A. Fiagg of Bangor and Frederick Persons of Bangor were I appointed by the President. j An invitation to visit the college library was extended by Prof. Robert Crowell of Colby and another to visit the WaterviUe public library was given by Miss Jennie Smith, lib rarian.

Flagg, librarian of the Bangor public library, gave a paper on "Library Standards.” Ho gave a tareful analysis of library conditions iti Maine and wont fully into the de tails of the work of the library com mission. lie considered tlie library work of other btates and gave a sketch of the real standard of work that should be reached by public li braries.

The following- is taken from the Lewiston Journal of Thursday: Frank It. Hayden the Lewiston horseman, was expelled from the Maine State Fair Association at Its meeting in the DeWitt this morning after making a bitter attack upon Secretary Wilson and Trustee Wig gin; and for a few minutes pande monium was let loose. Those who tried to stem Mr. Hay den's broadsides, and to adoujrn In the interests of order and common courtesy, were for the moment swept off their feet. His voice penetrated the closed doors into the office and corridors of the hotel. lie poured savage accusations upon Mr. Wil son and Mr. Wiggin in a steady stream. It was Mr. Wilson, his eyes blazing and every muscle of his athletic fig ure drawn taught who forced the fi nal issue. "This association Isn't big enough any longer for Frank Hayden and myself," he declared. "Either he gets out of it or I do. And I make a mo tion now that he tie expelled for the association’s good.” A dozen members clamored for ad journment; but President Carroll, his own eyes blazing, backed Mr. Wjl- j son. “There is a motion before tit's: house," ho declared, "and it's going] to be put. It’s going to be put be- fore i consider any motion to ad journ." He pointed a long foretin- i ger at Mr. Hayden and shot out: j "You bet it's going to be put after me: way you've shot off your face!’’ Plank ballots were distributed by! Mr. Wilson, tilled in. collected and counted. The result was as follows: To expel, I’O; not to expel, one. "You're a bunch of cheap grafters —you’re all a bunch of crooks!” cried Hayden as the whole gathering, hard-] ly waiting for the formality cf an ad-: Journment, began flowing toward the door. If it hadn't boon for this episode the meeting would have been excep tionally good-tempered, fair minded and constructive—the sort necessary to make Lewistons rejuvernated fair the. very best in Maine. It had been called iby President Carroll because of certain criticisms made by the hfej members against the tearing down of the Exposition budding with the object of erecting a safer and nrne substantial one. It was shown that the old building was unsafe; that a new one is vitally needed; that no other course could well have been followed in the fair’s best interests, and that the cost will be by no meansj excessive. Even those who, lacking full knov.l-| edge of the facts, had been inclined to criticize the project, were entirely i fair-minded. There was no real opposition, once President Oarrodj had made the necessity plain, and the, meeting voted unanimously and j heartily to support President Carroll and Secretary Wilson in all they are doing. Not only that, but it became enthusiastic—for whereas Mr. Car roll suggested that it would be pos sible to erect part of the build.ng! this year, completing it when gener-j al conditions are more favorable, it! was the prevailing sentiment that the! work be finished immediately. The meeting was called to order at i 11 o'clock in a private room of the! DeWitt. It was shown by a reading j i.f the records that the destruction of! the old building and erection of aj new had been voted at the last meet- ing but it appeared that there nul j been some misunderstanding and I criticism, and President Carroll wish ed the matter understood. Then ha railed upon Architect Coombs, who showed biue-prints of the new build ing plans and explainced them in some detail. At the entrance there is to be a telephone service, press room and information department; the main auditorium will contain more room than is possessed by all three floors of the present building, and in all there will be 114,000 square feet of floor sjiuce. "Now, I’ll tell you in more detail why this meeting was called,” said President Carroll, when the archi tect had finished. "There was no rev enue from the old building—the mer chants wouldn’t even carry goods there, let alone buying space; and it was so unsafe that it was certain to collapse, sooner or later, under tttp weight of a big crowd. Let this once happen, and—well, good-by Maitae State fair! I have heard stories to the effect that the cost will be *25,000 or *30,000. As a matter of fact, Jt is estimated that a very large part of the con struction can be made from timber saved from the old building, and the actual cost will be nearer *6000. And I guess, if we can get what looks like a *30.000 building for *6000, it will be a pretty good bargain." Then the meeting was thrown open for discussion a thoroughly friendly, fair-minded one. which brought out several interesting facts. There will be a thousand foot frontage, which can be sold at $2 a foot; and it is conservatively estimated that the en i tire yearly revenue from the new building will be not less than $2500. In fact, it will soon pay for itself— as President Carroll intends it shall. Several others spoke—all to the ef fect that they recognized the need of the new building and that it would be mighty good thing for Lewiston and for the fair. A motion that the I president and secretary be supported in their course was heartily passedi as was another that the president ap point a committee of supervision, of which he Bhail he chairman. And then the spirit and co-opera tion of the meeting extended even farther than those most interested had hoped. Mr. Carol!—who said he was going to have a building if ho had to do all the work alone—had printed that part of it could be added another year. Thereupon Mr. Callahan, in a ringing address, re plied that the life members will back their officers in finishing thfe Job now —•and the storm of applause which followed left no doubt of tho general sentiment. It was a splendid nioet ing—everything In harmony, every thing pointing to swift action and definite results. And then Frank Hayden was heard from. The rest is told above.

At the Front Another day of comparative quiet on the battlefront Is reported, while the Huns are apparently preparing for another drive. That does not mean that the cay was a holiday for the Allies, for their vigilance was never relaxed and every man was doubtless busy enough, but our boys were not obliged *o stack up against a great offensive lie r anything beyond the usual day-to-day fighting all along the line. Artillery fire continued up and down the front, but that is now accepted as part of the day's work. An official announcement from the American Army in France—the first since It entered the active fighting zone—shows that Pershing's boys are right up where the music is loudest and shouldering their part of the bur den. It !s also announced that where Americans, French and English are fighting together, with the Americans in superior numbers, their com mander will then be in command of the entire force. That is in line with the statement that Gen. Pershing might soon be commanding an allied force. It is quiet also in Italy, although It is expected that something will break out there before either In Flan ders or Picardy. American Flag Back to Stay. The American Hag is back on the seven seas of the world to stay and a race of American sailors such as manned tho New Kngland wind jammers of 50 years ago is now in the making, according to Colonel R. M. Thompson, honorary president of the Naval League of America, who is now on the Faciflc coast and is tell ing the people there in enthusiastic words of the work being rushed in tho Atlantic yards and urging the Pacific yards forward in a friendly contest of shipbuilding. "In manning tho ships of the Emergency Fleet Corporation," said Colonel Thompson, "we have attract ed to the sea the same type of young men who in the days of tho clipper ships made the phrase, ‘smart as a Yankee sailor,' known all over the world. These men have the ad venturous spirit which hears the call of the sea, and from them I am con fident we shall breed a race of sailors that will be second to none. “We are teaching them to become efficient mercantile marine officers and to take a pride in their profes sion. When this war is over, these young men will not return to the fleshpots of tho cities but will stay' with the sen. They will be seasoned to the dangers of deep sea navigation, and with decent living wages and the chance to command, the sea will be come their lifelong profession.” That Little Old Log Cabin. A great many Portland people never taw a real log cabin such a3 has just been erected In Monument square and a great many more never saw one put together as they were privileged to do this week.—Portland Press. As tho late lamented Virgil Katon used to insist, if it isn't built of logs "with tho bark on” it isn’t a real log cabin.—Biddcford Journal. And is it when the logs are laid with tho notches up?—Kennebec Journal. There are several schools of log cabin architecture, but as Warwick 1 said: Metween two hawks, which flies the higher pilch; Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth; Between two blades, which bears the better temper; Between two horses, which doth bear him best; Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye, I have perhaps some shallow spirit of Judgment; But In these nice sharp quillets of the law. Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw. We're willing to take Virgil Eat on’s word for the truth of the state ment that a real log cabin must be built of logs "with the bark on,” but whether the logs should be laid with the notches up or down would de pend largely, we should suppose, on whether tho structure was Intended to be permanent or merely tempo rary.—Blddeford Journal.

Found Yankees Rull of Fight. Adjutant Raymond Starbird of the Salvation Army Is just back from seven months in range of the German puns and has many interesting things to tell of his experiences and ob servations. "German prisoners taken say that they have all along planned to terrify the Americans, believing that they are not real soldiers, and have no dispositoin to fight, but, they admit, now that they have reason to know that the Americans are full of fight. They know it to their sorrow. "It is quite impossible to describe the inferno over there. Just before I left a giant shell from the German lines plumped itself down within forty feet of a Salvation Army Hut in which was Capt. Andrews and some assistants. Had the shell ex ploded the hut and its occupants would have been blown to atoms, but, although it plowed in twelve feet, it did not go off." Twenty-four states are now barred from receiving any anthracito coal, except upon special permits, none of them being in need of coal at this season. All the coal is being diverted to sections more dependent upon it for heating and lighting and those which must be provided for in anticipation of the rigors of win ter. New England and other long hauls are expected to be first taken care of. Women now voto for I’resident in 15 of our states, as follows: Arizona, since 1912; California, 1911: Colorado, j 1893: Idaho, 1896: Illinois, 1913; In diana, 1917; Kansas, 1912; Montana, 1914; Nevada, 1914; North Dakota, 1917; Ohio. 1917; Oregon, 1912; Utah, 1896: Washington, 1910; Wyoming, 1869. These states carry a total of 135 electoral votes. The selection of Charles K. Hughes by President Wilson to assist In the investigation of the criminal charges made in connection with tho airplane production was a wise step. The success of Mr. Hughes in similar in vestigations in the past assures go ing to the bottom of this case and the punishment of the guilty parties. In one of the restaurants in Winni peg a warm baked potato is placed free on the bread and butter plate of every patron instead of the custom ary white or brown bread.

The ability of our General Pershing was sure to be recognized by the Kuropean leaders, hence the report that he is soon to be in command of both American and French troops, under the unity of action plan.

Hutton, beginning with the day he arrived in Bangor from Hallowed, July 23, 1 SOI. and continuing with some breaks down to 1810. This hook is in a measure a personal journal as well as a record of financial transactions. Names of the prominent men of Bangor at tlie opening of the 39th century are found on every page. Mr. Dutton w..s a native of Hallowed, was the: second lawyer in town (preceded only by Allen Gilman), the first judge of Probate of Penobscot county, ISlil, also president of the Bangor hunk and one of the founders of the Theological seminary.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a rev elation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe improved by the addi tion of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through vour hair taking one small strand at a time-' by morning all gray hairs have dis appeared. and, after another appli cation or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.

The Passadumkeag topographic map just issued by the geological survey, j Department of the Interior, shows that 1 t!ie Penobscot river, between Old Town and West Knf.ekl. is a striking example of a braided stream. The river here has hut slight fall and therefore cannot 1 carry away all the sediment that is swept into it by its numerous tribu taries, and this material chokes the stream and forces it to spread in'o many shallow and shifting channels, the pattern formed resembling the strands of braid.

There are 7.3 pupils in the school and under the efficient management of the teacher, Miss Gertrude Gardiner, they have con scientiously done "their bit,” The publicity directors and executive committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce have taken action looking towards the tearing down of the four large advertising signs located along [the railroad tracks near Portland, ad vertising Portland as an industrial and tourist section. This action was based upon the fact that the signs in addition to being of a sterotyped nature used by various organizations, and which are out of date, were marring the landscape and beauty of the country.

Editorial Comment The Navy (New York Sun) From the nature of the work it is j doing our navy is deprived of the ad vantages of public recognition for its 'present services. It is conducting op jerations in association with the naval forces of the Allies, convoying army transports, and protecting merchant men. Silence is essential to its suc jeess, and therefore the lips that would praise it are sealed. Hut we know the navy is doing its duty and we know that others are aware of it. Vice-Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly’s cider, praising ollicers and men for their "skill, energy, and un failing good nature," issued yesterday on the first anniversary of the arrival of a United States naval force in Eu ropean waters, is welcome profession al testimony to the qualities that have always been characteristic of our navy, and which are particularly val uable when, as at the present mo ment, It mist adapt itself to condi tions not of its own making, but pre determined for it by others. When the veil of setrecy that now [hides from us the hazardous feats and technical triumphs of the navy is lifted, we shall take new pride in it and in its personnel. The navy is do ing its duty to the satisfaction of its officers, whose standard is of the highest; and in doing this it is up holding the finest traditions of the sen ice.

The first Junior Vol unteer boys are expected to arrive the first part of next week and from that date they will be constantly coming ar.d going away to the farms tor the balance of the season. It is repotted that several orchards in town have been winter killed bad ly and that Baldwin trees especially have suffered severely, a great, many branches on these trees being dead. •II the trouble is general through the country it will mean the loss of a great many thousand dollars and a hard blow to growers in a section so prominent in orcharding as is Kennebec county. Fields of oats and wheat that, were sowed early this month have made a wonderful growth, there being suffi cient moisture to germinate the seed properly and warm days to help it along. There will in all probability be a larger wheat acreage in town this year than there has been tor a great many years, also if reports are true, the number of farmers starting with a wheat field for their first time this year will lie a big increase over previous years.

The Street Car Ride is worth its Cost,-AndMore! Moral of the Cider Barrel To School Children:— An old New England saying is this,-^ "It ta poer eoonemy to peur oidar out of the bunghole to save buying a •pigoL” School teachers all over this State have been asking for higher pay, because It costs th em so much more to live, and they say it is “bunghole economy" to pay teachers low wages. This street railway is seeking more income too; and for exactly the same reason. Compare the teachers’ arguments and ours. TEACHERS' ARGUMENT OUR ARGUMENT L Wo are giving valuable *erv tee .o tho public. We are The very eame! entitled to receive at least enough to keep on giving service. a Our pay Is so low that we cannot even meet our ex penses. I. A community without our se/vlco would lose one of the moat Indispensable things In Its dally life, A The eott of paying us well Is nothing compared to the loss to the whole commun ity if our service hoa to ■top. A It Is Just ils disgraceful for a city not to pay us a fair In come as It Is for that city to not meet any other Just obligation. 1 And what It eould s&vs by ski aping our Income would be lost ten times over by the k se of service which we alone een give, The very semeT The very samel The very earn#! The very e«m#| The very same!

This is a lesson not only in Economy, but in common fair ness. It teaches that service is worth what it costs—and more! If this appeals to you as good sense, ask ,rDad” what he thinks about it. And tell him, too, that we say— ‘This street railroad is not now taking in even its expenses. Like the school teachers, we, too, must have more income. OR WE MUST QUIT! General Manager L., A. W.

Why are we continually being told that good blood must be bright red? What has color to do with the qual ity? .lust this. The oxygen in the air is the great supporter of animal life. One business of the blood is to take oxygen from the air (which it meets in the lungs) and deliver it to the tissues of the body. When the blood, filled with life sustaining oxy gen, is sent out by the heart it is bright red. When it returns, tilled with impurities, and deprived of its oxygen, it is dark. From this it is clear that there are two prime requisites of health, pure air and bright red blood—the pure air to furnish the oxygen, the rich blood to carry it where it is needed. Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills make the blood rich and red because they increase its power to carry oxygen, actually mak ing it so much more able to carry In creased life and strength to every or gan of the body. Mrs. Hazel M. Cole of G? Washing ton avenue. Haverhill, Mass., has great faith in Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills which she has used as a tonic when ever needed ever since her girlhood. •'I was very nervous and run down in health." she says, "and had terrible headaches. 1 was white, had no color at all. 1 suffered from hot flashes and it would seem as if I was going to die. I had dull aching pains across the hack. Any little thing would make me extremely nervous and I could not get a full night’s rest. “My mother suggested that I take Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills as we had used them at different times In the family for many years. I could soon see that they were helping me-. The pills strengthened my nerves and built me right up. ‘‘When I was a young girl I had Rt. Vitus’ dance and alter l had partly recovered my nerves were in :c terri ble. condition. My mother had me use Dr. Williams’ Fink Fills and Ihey benefited me right away.” What Weak Nerves Need. We do not give much thought to our nervous system when it is work ing ail right but when it goes wrong nature has a way of calling it forci bly to our attention by something that wo cannot overlook- -pain. Try to reach a painful nerve with medicine of any sort and you are con fronted with a fact that every doctor knows, that the only way to reach the nerves is through the blood. t ou see now why Dr. Will)! Pink Pills, the great tonic for blood, are also a great nerve build!! When a nerve becomes inflamed a painful it is—unless caused by an, cident—because the blood was giving it the elements of nourishing it needed. Vh\ Williams' Pini( pj„l j build up the blood, the nerves strengthened, the inflammation 8uhj j sides and the pain vanishes. 1 Miss Dessa Smith of No. 22 \orJ Buckeye street, Wooster, Ohio, saysl -X suffered with sciatica in my ieJ leg and hip for over a year. Thei were sharp pains in the knee joir land a dull aching pain in my h,, i Whenever I sat down, 1 would afraid to get up, for the pain be almost unbearable when I mi” my leg. It would often seem though it was stiff. I dreaded to to bed for then the pain would b«| worse. I became very nervo* u, lost weight. "I was under the care of a di for some months but I could noti« that lie helped me in the least, la» Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills recoij. mended so highly that I thought I would try them. I bought a ;(v boxes and began to gain in flesh a: once and the stiffness left me. Gradually the pains disappeared and! 1 was entirely well. I have had u| return of the trouble and can be oil my feet all day.” By keeping the blood rich and n by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink ;tlie danger of nervous breakdown,!! somnia, nervous indigestion and otl. !er disorders caused by ill-nourUld nerves is greatly lessened.
